Kramer Electronics 97-0416262 Plugable Optical Hdmi Cable

Product Description

The KRAMER ELECTRONICS 97-0416262 is a plugable optical HDMI cable designed to carry high-definition audio and video signals over fiber-optic technology. Unlike traditional copper HDMI cables, optical HDMI uses light transmission to eliminate electromagnetic interference and support longer signal runs without degradation. This unit is sold individually and is suited for AV signal processing installations where cable length, signal integrity, or interference rejection are primary concerns. AV integrators and low-voltage technicians are the primary trade professionals who specify and install this type of cable.

This optical HDMI cable is applicable in residential and commercial AV installations where standard copper HDMI runs fall short. Typical scenarios include large conference rooms, home theater builds, digital signage deployments, and any installation requiring extended HDMI cable distances without active signal boosting or repeaters. The cable connects source devices such as media players, computers, or matrix switchers to displays, projectors, or AV receivers.

Key Features

• Optical fiber construction eliminates electromagnetic interference common in copper HDMI runs
• Supports extended cable runs beyond the distance limits of passive copper HDMI
• Plugable design for straightforward connection without additional hardware
• Sold as a single unit for flexible quantity purchasing
• Classified as an AV signal processing accessory for commercial and residential use

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style optical HDMI cable replacement or addition for AV signal processing systems requiring HDMI connectivity over extended fiber-optic runs.

Installation Notes

Low-voltage AV technicians and integrators typically install optical HDMI cables as part of structured cabling or AV system builds. Power down or place source and display devices in standby before connecting or disconnecting the cable. Avoid sharp bends or kinking the fiber-optic cable, as optical fiber is more susceptible to bend radius damage than copper. Follow local low-voltage wiring codes and the AV system manufacturer guidelines for cable routing and termination.
